Early Voting in County Races, Primaries Begins

Beginning today, July 13, registered voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots for the Aug. 2 state primary and county general elections. Early voting continues through July 28. Early voting will be conducted at the Franklin County Election Commission located at 839 Dinah Shore Blvd., Winchester.

Franklin County administrator of elections Margaret Ott ley is encouraging voters to take advantage of early voting.

“Early voting is a convenient way for voters to be sure their voices are heard,” said Ott ley. “With this kind of fl exibility, I hope that our voters will not miss this opportunity to exercise their right to vote.”

“Th e fl exibility of early voting gives Tennesseans one less reason not to exercise their right to vote,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett . “Early voting has proven to be quite popular.”

Voters should remember that whether they vote early or on election day, valid state or federal photo identifi cation is now required when voting in person.

Voters must present a state or federal issued photo identifi cation in order to vote in person, whether during early voting or on Election Day.

Examples of acceptable forms of identifi cation, whether current or expired, include driver licenses, U.S. passports, Department of Safety photo ID cards, U.S. military photo IDs and other state or federal government photo ID cards. Student IDs are not acceptable.

“I am grateful to the county election offi cials, poll workers and others who are willing to put in the time and eff ort that goes into a successful election,” said Hargett . “Th eir hard work and dedication ensures that all Tennesseans have an opportunity to exercise their right to vote.”

Budget and Buses Reviewed by School Board

by K. G. Beavers, Messenger Staff WriterTh e Franklin County School Board met in a regular board meeting July

9 to approve the bus transportation service contract, the maintenance of ef-fort resolution and the proposed 2012–13 budget. Policies on promotion and retention, student discrimination, and interrogations and searches were also approved at this meeting.

Th e bus transportation services contract was approved with the increase in mileage rate and the change in the fuel supplement. Th e mileage rate and fuel supplement will be reviewed annually.

Th e school board passed a resolution requesting that the Franklin County Commission fully fund the maintenance of eff ort (a required category of funding) for the Franklin County Board of Education. Th e commission has not been able to fully fund the category for the past three years. As of June 30, 2011, the accumulated defi ciency was $1,084,544. Th e school board’s resolu-tion asks the county government to fund this defi cit by decreasing the amount the school board is required to pay on its debt repayment by $250,000 per year, until the balance is paid. Th e $250,000 was removed from the debt payment on the budget and added to the capital line item.

Director of Schools Rebecca Sharber said she had talked with the chairman of the county commission and the county mayor about this budget issue.

Final Summer Reading EventTh urmond Library’s summer read-

ing program concludes this week at 10 a.m., Wednesday, July 18, with Charlie Smith. Smith, a member of the Sewanee Volunteer Fire Department, will read to children, and will also bring the fi re truck.

Plan to join the excitement on the porch of Brooks Hall, next to Otey Parish Church.

“All thought this was the best way to handle the debt they owe us,” said Sharber.

“We are not going to spend this money on recurring items,” said Shar-ber. “Th is money will be used to take care of some one-time maintenance issues, such as the repairs for Sewanee Elementary School.”

Th e budget for the 2012–13 school year was approved and will be sent to the county commission for approval. Th e fi rst meeting to discuss this budget with the commissioners is scheduled for 7 p.m., Monday, July 23, in the

Advance tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the Assembly Offi ce. Tickets on the day of the tour are $20, available at the North Gate of the Assembly.

This annual fund-raising event

helps fund ongoing fi nancial support of area nonprofi t organizations, as well as the restoration of historic properties inside the Assembly.

Celebrating its 129th year of con-tinuous operation, Monteagle Sunday School Assembly is interdenomina-tional and fulfi lls its original charter and mission through a variety of spiritual, educational and cultural activities for all ages.

From the hundreds of such as-semblies patt erned aft er Chautauqua Institution in New York in the late 1800s, only 13 remain active today. In 1982, its 100th anniversary, Mon-teagle Sunday School Assembly was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.

Since its fi rst session in the sum-mer of 1883, the assembly has run continuously and thrives today. More information about the Assembly can be found at <www.mssa1882.org>.

SSMF hosted an unusual concert at Morgan’s Steep on July 6. A chamber orchestra hiked a quarter-mile into the woods and performed an hour of classical music directly below a natural rock formation.

“Welcome to the most interesting concert you have ever been to,” said SSMF director Katie Lehman to the crowd of more than 130 people. [See photo on page 6.]

Conductor Yaniv Dinur led the group in Schubert’s “5th Symphony” and Respighi ’s “A ncient A irs and Dances.” Th e Phoenix Brass Quintet performed, while patrons hiked to the seating area. Volunteers and staff members moved chairs, music stands, instruments and equipment down the steep stairs and along a rock path, fi nally sett ling on the rocky terrain be-low the bluff . Th e result was a historic concert that combined the beauty of the music along with the breathtaking views and nature of Morgan’s Steep.

A SUCCESSFUL SIGNINGTo the Editor:

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who helped make my July 4 book signing of “Th e Th ieft aker” at the University Bookstore such a terrifi c success. My thanks go to Janet Caso and John Hatchett , for their courtesy and professionalism; to the Messenger, for doing such a great job of publicizing the event; and finally, to my friends and readers here in Sewanee, for the support and encouragement they have given me over the years. I have signed books all over this country, and on the other side of the world, but my Se-wanee signings are always my favorite events. Th anks so much to everyone who came.

WENDLING IN SENIOR GA MESTo the Editor:

Last summer, while walking nine holes on the Sewanee Golf Course with John Wendling, he lamented that he was no longer in the type of athletic condition that he had been through most of his life. Th at is where this story takes an interesting turn.

Most of us retirees are happy to merely lament and have our lives be about the things that we used to be able to do that we can no longer do.

As a man of action, however, John wasn’t satisfied with that. So he set a goal of participating in the Senior Olympics in 2012. In order to accom-plish this goal, he would have to get into bett er shape (we already know that John was prett y fi t then).

John wasn’t satisfied in just par-ticipating in the pole vault (histori-cally one of his best events). No siree, he wanted to compete in many fi eld events (shot put, discus, javelin, high jump, long jump and triple jump), the 100-meter and 50-meter runs and three swimming events (100-yard backstroke, 50-yard freestyle and 50-yard backstroke).

Th is weekend and next week will be the second test of his resolve and mett le. A few weeks ago he participated in the regionals of the Senor Olympics in Chatt anooga and earned the right to move onto the state meet. I plan on driving to Franklin July 15 to see

him compete in the fi eld events. If you would like to join me to root him on, please let me know.

SUPPORTER OF LEWISTo the Editor:

People look at an outcomes map of Tennessee elections and see a totally red state, without a prayer for a Demo-cratic candidate. Th at may be true in a national race but in state elections, we still have a choice, especially in District 16. For reasons close to my heart, I’m supporting Jim Lewis, Democratic candidate for state senate.

My mother was a teacher all her life. She taught for more than 20 years at Grundy and Marion County high schools. She dedicated her life to that art and touched thousands of lives with her talent as a teacher. Because of her and many public school teachers like her, I believe that good public educa-tion in Tennessee is a bedrock family value. And Jim Lewis agrees.

I believe good, affordable health care is a human right—care for all Tennesseans, especially the poor. And Jim Lewis agrees.

When something in my life isn’t working, and when it’s something that government can address, I want to know that I can pick up the phone to an offi cial and that the person on the other end of that line will be responsible and fair. Jim Lewis is that person. He not only has experience and wisdom and knowledge of how government works because he’s been there, he just has the good, kind heart that we need in Nashville. I ask other voters to look at his record and send a sensible and ex-perienced man back to the Tennessee senate this fall.

CONSERVATION FOR THE TOWN OF MONTEAGLE

UTILITY DISTRICT In conjunction with the Department of Environment and Conservation and due to the recent drought, a town-wide fire safety burn ban is declared by the Town of Monteagle in coordination with the Monteagle Fire Department. This ban is prompted by ground conditions and forecasts calling for continued dry weather and applies to all outdoor burning.

The persistent hot and dry weather resulting in drought conditions has prompted a call for Monteagle Utility Customers to implement voluntary water conservation measures. This includes: watering of lawns, flower gardens, trees, shrubs, etc. watering of ball fields, washing sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, tennis courts, patios or any other hard surfaces by commercial or residential customers except for sanitary or safety purposes, filling or re-filling of swimming pools, and the use of water for dust control or construction compaction.

When a kid in Mobile, I oft en read through a scrapbook we owned. Th e Treasury Department of the Confederacy created it mainly to house a collection of counterfeit Confederate bills. Th e scrapbook also included news clippings, mostly about currency. Reading the clippings gave me an appreciation of 19th-century reporters and their decorative writing style. Th ose guys inserted snippets of Latin and French in their copy and personifi ed ideas in ways they had learned reading “Th e Aeneid” in high school. For example, “Upon the arrival from Charleston on the coastal packet Estelle Witherspoon, Dame Rumour has spread her wings to carry over our city the following news... .”

At the Dump a few days ago, I imagined Dame Rumour leaving her perch on the trash compactor as I heard that the golf course enhancement will take over the Dump property. I looked out and saw bulldozers at our ramparts, waiting. A second rumour said not to worry. Th e Dump will relocate a few hundred yards away on Missouri Avenue on the site where the University dumps leaves.

While discussing garbage with a source, he told me that the present Dump is on the site of one of the oldest University trash heaps. Much of that trash was pushed down a slight slope to level out the area where our Dump was created and where the abandoned communication tower sits. If so, many old patent medicine bott les remain buried there.

When bulldozers att ack the area, I’d like to be there aft er quitt ing time. A few old bott les may have turned up of interest to us bott le collectors.

Apply Now for Heating Assistance

Th ough it is hard to imagine dur-ing these hot summer days, Southeast Tennessee Human Resource Agency (SETHRA ) is now taking applications for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for the fi scal year 2012–13. SETHRA is also taking Energy Crisis (emergency) program applications. Th ese programs help with winter heating costs for low-income families.

Applicants must include income documentation for all in the household and copies of Social Security cards for all household members. Also include a copy of your highest energy bill, which can date back as far as December 2011.

SETHRA will ensure that no per-son, on the basis of disability, race, color, sex, age or national origin, will be excluded from participation in the LIHEAP program. This program is funded by the Tennessee Department of Human Resources. For more infor-mation call 967-1438.

Regulations Relaxed for Home Kitchen Products

Gov. Bill Haslam recently signed into law a bill that brings changes to how foods produced in home kitchens are regulated. Th e new law allows Tennes-seans who manufacture for sale non-potentially hazardous foods (such as baked goods, candy, jams and jellies) in a home kitchen to forgo inspection and permit-ting by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Regulatory Services Division.

Individuals who choose to forgo inspection under the new law must display signage alerting consumers. All home kitchen food manufacturers are still required to label products using the common name of ingredients by predomi-nance and to provide a net quantity statement.

“Th e intent of the new law is to allow home kitchen manufacturers to off er certain foods without regulatory oversight by posting appropriate notice to consumers,” TDA Regulatory Services Director Jimmy Hopper said.

Individuals who manufacture non-potentially hazardous foods must display a sign at the place of sale stating, “Th ese food products were made in a private home not licensed or inspected.” Other stipulations such as product labeling requirements can be found in the legislation, SB3547/HB3302.

For more information contact Nancy Austin at (865) 974-7717 or by email, <[email protected]>.

Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow

Th e Cat’s Meow Show on Fourth of July was an amusing event with Virginia Craighill doing a great job as master of ceremonies. Even though the cats did not have to really participate in any Olympic-like events, a couple of kitt ens took it upon themselves to slip out of their carriers for a 50-yard dash. Fortunately they were retrieved by their owners with help from spec-tators.

Benjamin Polansky, Katie Craighill and Joan Hurst ser ved as judges, and the following winners were an-nounced and received blue ribbons:

Largest cat—Smudge, owned by Maya Mauzy; Best cat and cat-owner look a like—Pete, owned by Leah Talley; Most unusual markings— Lilly , owned by Katie Finn Hurst. And Yankee,Doodle and Dandy, who won smallest, best decorated carrier and fl uffi est tail, owned by Emily Bailey.

Thanks goes to Marty Hawkins and his crew from PPS for helping with setup, to media services and to Peggy and Marvin Pate for organizing the event.

Raising a ChampionArea Couple Travel to National Pony Event

Heather and David Brewer of Monteagle will be traveling to Missouri later in July to compete in the Ponies of the Americas national event. Aft er years of studying pedigrees and searching for just the right breeding stock to fi t their program, the Brewers are reaping the benefi ts of a solid program.

Morning Star Farm, owned by the Brewers, breeds, trains and shows Ponies of the Americas(POA). Th e POA is a versatile breed geared toward the young equestrian, perfect for trail and endurance riding, ranch work and hunting.

“Th ey are the perfect companion for any age rider and discipline due to their hardiness and willing nature,” said David. Aft er showing Quarter Horses for many years, the Brewers were asked to train a POA for a client. Th ey were so impressed with the breed, they had to dig deeper to see what these stocky-built ponies were all about.

“And we have never looked back,” David said.Th e Brewers purchased a POA stallion and had him shipped from Minnesota.

Th ey began to search for exceptional Quarter Horse mares that possessed the qualities they desired to breed with their stallion. Th e result presented them with a colt they named “MSF Santee Mizrahi” aft er the famed designer Isaac Mizrahi because of the colt’s fl ashy color patt ern. Soon, the colt became known in the barn as “Cheeto.”

When Cheeto turned two years old, the Brewers began a stringent feed and exercise program to put him in top condition. Th e young stallion was presented for the fi rst time in 2012 as a three-year-old at the Eastern Classic in Edinburgh, Ind. Th e colt made an impressive showing, winning the title of Grand Champion Stallion both days under four judges. A month later, they traveled to Gainesville, Ga., for the Southeast Regionals, where again Cheeto was undefeated in all three days of competition.

“We are very proud to have raised such a nice colt and look forward to his bright future both in showing and the breeding shed,” said David.

Franklin County Added to State Retiree Program

Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development commissioner Bill Hagerty recently announced that Franklin County and White County have met the criteria to join Retire Tennessee, the state’s retiree recruitment program.

“Th e addition of Franklin and White counties to our Retire Tennessee Program refl ects a commitment from each community to promote Tennessee as a great place for retirees to call home,” Hagerty said.

Communities participating in the Retire Tennessee Program have estab-lished a Retiree Relocation Committ ee, conducted a community assessment, started marketing eff orts to att ract and relocate the retiree market and partici-pate in trade shows geared toward att racting retirees.

“Franklin County is a perfect fi t for the Retire Tennessee Program,” said Judy Taylor, executive director of the Franklin County Chamber. “One visit will pro-vide our new friends with a sense of hometown charm and great southern living.”

“Franklin County and Retire Tennessee are a perfect match due to the vari-ous natural resources, convenient amenities and great citizens in our county,” Mayor Richard Stewart of Franklin County said.

The other Retire Tennessee communities are Cumberland, Hamilton, Hardin, Henry, Jeff erson, Loudon, Maury, Putnam, Roane, Robertson, Sullivan and Warren counties.

Praying Mantis“I was watering a shrub this morning, when out popped a Praying

Mantis,” reports Jean Yeatman. “It looked at me with its large eyes, and then sat and watched for an insect to come by. Mantises are very good to have in your garden, as they eat lots of insects. Th is was a Carolina mantis, 2.3 inches long. Th ey are becoming less common because of the introduction 50 years ago of the Chinese and European mantises, which are larger, 3.5 inches long, and both out-compete and prey upon the smaller ones.

“Th ese insects are green and brown and are hard to see on foliage”, she continued. “Th ey wait in ambush, grasping passing insects with their spiny forelegs. Th e wings are nearly transparent. When disturbed, they can fl y away.

“When I fi nd egg cases in the fall, I put them in my garden to hatch in the spring. Once, I put a case in my greenhouse and had lots of babies until they turned cannibal.”

To raise money for Animal Harbor shelter, the Franklin County Humane Society is partnering with Kroger stores. When someone purchases a Kroger Cares gift card from the Franklin County Humane Society, Kroger donates 4 percent of the amount spent to the Humane Society. Kroger makes the dona-tions for purchases of groceries as well as prescriptions and fuel.

Every time the total amount spent by Humane Society cardholders reaches $5,000, Kroger will send a check for $200.

Th ese cards cannot be purchased at Kroger; they must be purchased from the Franklin County Humane Society. Cards can be purchased online from the website <htt p://animalharbor.com>, by mail by sending $5 to P. O. Box 187, Winchester 37398, or by calling Marianna Handler at (423) 837-3936.

Botanical Art Workshop Set

for AugustTh e Sewanee Herbarium is host-

ing a two-day mixed media botanical art and nature journaling workshop, “Draw ing Lessons from Nature,” Aug. 10–11. Lendon Noe will be the instructor.

Registration is limited to 15 par-ticipants; the cost is $75 per person.

A generous gif t in memor y of Sewanee artist and nature journaler Mary McCleaf is helping underwrite the event.

Noe was a professor of art at Lam-buth University in Jackson, Tenn., for 28 years. She is now partner and in-structor with Silver Creek Workshops; for the past 10 years, her work has been focused on natural history.

Workshop participants do not need to have had experience in botani-cal art or nature journaling.

“We will begin with the simplest materials and learn specific tech-niques for focusing attention and drawing from nature,” Lendon said. “Weather permitt ing, we will go into the landscape both days (no arduous hiking) and learn to see and record our surroundings. We w il l come back to the studio and enhance our pages. We will profi t from the study of the collection of the Herbarium at Sewanee. As we close, we will fi nish a remarkably personal record of our stay.”

Mary McCleaf and her husband, David Clough, retired to Sewanee, where she died in 2010. Th e nature journaling group organized by the Sewanee Herbarium is an outgrowth of the Dead Plants Society, of which McCleaf was an active member.

For more information or to reg-ister for the workshop, contact Mary Priestley by email <[email protected]> or telephone 598-0157. Participants will receive a list of sug-gested supplies when they register.

Reported by Sarah LongDomain Management Intern

Th e Franklin County Humane Society’s Animal Harbor off ers these two delightful pets for adoption.

Tiny is the quietest litt le Chihuahua you’re likely to meet. She is very tiny and would love to be a lap warmer for someone. She’s also young, so she can be playful, too. Because of her small size, she needs a home with adults and older children. Tiny is up-to-date on shots and spayed.

Sondra is a prett y Tabby kitt en who loves to snuggle. She is very sweet and entertaining. Sondra is negative for FeLV and FIV, house-trained, up-to-date on shots and spayed.

Every Friday is Black Friday at Animal Harbor. On Fridays, adoption fees will be reduced 50 percent for black or mostly black pets over 4 months old who have been at Animal Harbor for more than a month. Pets adopted from Animal Harbor qualify for a free post-adoption wellness exam by local veterinarians.

Call Animal Harbor at 962-4472 for information and check out their other pets at <www.animalharbor.com>. Enter their drawing on this site for a free spay or neuter for one of your pets. Ask about their low-income spay program.

Please help the Humane Society continue to save abandoned pets by send-ing your donations to the Franklin County Humane Society, P. O. Box 187, Winchester, TN 37398.

Community CalendarBARDTOVERSEby Scott and Phoebe Bates

God, give us men! A time like this demandsStrong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of offi ce does not kill;Men whom the spoils of offi ce cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will;Men who have honor; men who will not lie;Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous fl att eries without winking!Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking;For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds,Th eir large professions and their litt le deeds,Mingle in selfi sh strife, lo! Freedom weeps,Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps.
